The First Televised Debate

Clip from the 1st 1960 presidential debate between John F. Kennedy and Richard Nixon. Held on September 26, 1960, it was the first presidential debate between two opposing political parties as well as the first one to be televised. Television audiences thought Kennedy won the debate by a landslide, while radio audiences thought Nixon won it by a landslide. Nixon appeared emaciated, unhealthy, and awkward, while Kennedy appeared handsome, tanned and confident.

Blowin’ in the Wind by Bob Dylan

How many roads must a man walk downBefore you call him a man?Yes, 'n' how many seas must a white dove

sailBefore she sleeps in the sand?Yes, 'n' how many times must the cannon

balls flyBefore they're forever banned?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the

wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many years can a mountain existBefore it's washed to the sea?Yes, 'n' how many years can some people

existBefore they're allowed to be free?

Yes, 'n' how many times can a man turn his head,

Pretending he just doesn't see?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the

wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.

How many times must a man look upBefore he can see the sky?Yes, 'n' how many ears must one man

haveBefore he can hear people cry?Yes, 'n' how many deaths will it take till

he knowsThat too many people have died?The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the

wind,The answer is blowin' in the wind.
